Users Online

Go with proftpd, this will set up a server with access to "/home/shareftp" and give only a user access to a user called "ftpuser"

This is the process I used on a couple Ubuntu Servers to Get Running Fast

Install proftpd in standallon modesudo apt-get install proftpd

Next edit the shells file and add one line of code

However /usr/bin/false needs to be added to /etc/shells to make it a valid login shell. Without this when you try to ftp as a user that has a shell of /usr/bin/false you’ll get a “530 Login incorrect. Login failed.” regardless of whether you get the password right or not.
